RSS role in BJP's performance in Delhi

-
Congratulations to the BJP for its resounding victory in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. They certainly deserve applause for retaining Chattisgarh and their comeback in Delhi is heartwarming. 

If AAP's performance was a surprise, BJP's inaction early on was known. Certainly not taking away credit from the average BJP worker on ground, but the BJP campaign was found wanting in reaching out to the grassroots. What used to help BJP in several states was never said overtly earlier due to their ideal of 'selfless service' but now it has to be said in the open just to shut some mouths.

This is the story of how 'How the RSS went all out for Harsh Vardhan - but fell short' : http://www.firstpost.com/politics/how-the-rss-went-all-out-for-harsh-vardhan-but-fell-short-1275059.html?utm_source=ref_article

May not be to the liking of 'buddi jeevis' both on the so-called 'left' or 'right' but this had to be known to debunk their incongruent hate for RSS which always found fault with it, no matter what the effort. My dutiful 'middle finger' to all such 'intellectuals'/'buddi jeevis'!

Ram & Ayodhya by Meenakshi Jain - A journey in history, antiquity, archaeology and law

One reads few books for entertainment, some to know about subjects we are interested in, few to understand the world, and some to understand others. There are few books which when read enable you to know more about oneself, one's identity and heritage without which we are lost. One such book I have read in recent times is 'Ram & Ayodhya' by Meenakshi Jain.  Yes, this work is about the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute and the temple. But the underlying theme is about what defines us, how we are a 'single culture', attributes which unite us as a civilization and how we as a people have reclaimed it repeatedly over millenniums. It also educates us about the machinations both external and internal that time and again attempted to destroy and separate us from our roots and the methods they employed. Faith in Rama - Attribute of Bharatiya civilization   Meenakshi Jain's research shows how Bhagwan Ram and his story 'Ramayana' is not an epic whi...

**** Text of my talk on Swami Vivekananada's view on Science and Education **** From time immemorial, the ultimate truth of nature is an enigma and a mystery to man. He took two broad routes to fathom it, one through probing of the external and second through inward journey. While the first path is taken by the western mind, the second path was chosen by the ancient sages of India knowing that the first path cannot lead to the truth unambiguously. This is what Swami Vivekananda spread in his message the world. Swami Vivekananda on Science Swami Vivekananda had experienced the ancient truths through inward journey under the guidance of Sri Ramakrishna.

Translated from the original article in Kannada by Prof T.S.Krishnamurthy in 'Shankara Krupa' Ed 13 July-2011 issue Whenever we remember the cultural and literary history of Bharat, the name of Maharishi Veda Vyasa will be among the foremost mentions. He was not only a treasure house of knowledge but was also creator and a protector of our ancient culture and traditions. He was one of the greatest seers with utmost wisdom and insight of the 'Dwapara Yuga'. Even today when we take his name we feel the adrenaline rush in us, shows his importance and greatness. Such was his personality. 'Veda Vyasa' was not his own or original name. It was a title given to him out of respect. His original name was 'Krishnadvaipayana'. He was born on an island in the Yamuna river and was dark skinned (Krishna) and hence the name. A few years after his birth he started to live the life of an ascetic in the forests. Though he was living the life of an ascetic, he had...
